Just Thursday

Hello and welcome back to my blog. I realize it has been a while since we last met. My laptop is in Oregon with Josh getting fixed. It wouldn't charge and only functioned when plugged in and apparently to fix this problem, the puter requires a new motherboard. Sounds like a load of bull to me! Just kidding. My parents offered to pay for the upgrades as part of my birthday present (thanks ma and pa!). I am, of course, blogging from work.

Speaking of my birthday, I had one. I am now 24 years old. According to someone who shall remain nameless, I have one more year until I'm fully grown up and capable of making adult decisions. Anyway, Tommy treated me very well on my birthday weekend. I was showered with gifts and stuffed full of excellent foods for 3 days straight. On my actual birthday, as Steph already recounted, we met the family for lunch at Panera and all went to Aunt Clara's house for a holiday gathering. That side of the family gets a little weirder every year. It's about time they caught up with the weird factor on the Dawson side. Tommy and I had to duck out early for our dinner plans at PF Changs. I really truly love their food. We tried the crab won tons for the first time. Oh my. My mouth waters as I think about it.

It is the new year, as I hope you have realized by now. I'm not big on resolutions. All my big plans are foiled within days because my motivation and self-discipline are way crappy. I recently got my gym membership back because I could feel the muscle atrophy and osteoporosis kicking in at an early age and we need to nip that in the bud! I went a couple times with Tommy but went alone for the first time last night. All I did was 25 minutes of cardio and 150 crunches and I swear I woke up today feeling like an invalid. My abs are surprisingly okay, but the muscles in and around my hip joints have been murdered. Anyway, the point. I'm back on the wagon and hoping to be back to my happy body with less fluff around the edges.

Still no marriage, preggers, or babies in my life and therefore a slightly dull blog. I hope everyone had happy chilly holidays!
